Hi,
Bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202387
This patch adds historical data for JDK 10 and adds support for
--release 11.
To simplify adding new platforms, the CreateSymbols tool is updated to
support incrementally adding platform support. So now it is possible to
run command like:
<jdk10>/bin/java <classpath-setup>
build.tools.symbolgenerator.CreateSymbols build-description-incremental
symbols include.list
to add historical data for JDK 10. In the future it might even be
possible to use the source launcher so that one would not need to
compile the tool before use.
The webrevs are split into two:
-updating the CreateSymbols tool, and adding a test that verifies that
"--release <current>" works (as suggested):

-actually adding the data for JDK 10, and adding --release 11:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202387/data.00/
How does this look?
Thanks,
Jan
